Clean and prepare 3 bocachicos, cutting them in half for easier frying.

Add salt to the fish, ensuring to season inside the cuts for flavor.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the fish and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

In another pan, heat a good amount of olive oil or vegetable oil.

Add sliced red onion and crushed garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes transparent.

Add sliced green pepper and half-moon cut ripe tomato to the pan, mixing well.

Add a pinch of salt to help the vegetables dehydrate faster, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they form a sauce.

Pour in 2 cups of water and season with color, paprika, cayenne pepper, and freshly ground black pepper, mixing well.

Carefully place the fried fish into the sauce, ensuring they fit well.

Cover the pan and let it cook for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add finely chopped cilantro to the sauce, mixing gently and spooning the sauce over the fish.

Cover again and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
